thanks to the efforts of Br. Rory Higgins on the staff at St Bede's College, there is a full list of some 14000 women who have joined religious orders to become sisters (nuns). The list shows those who entered religious orders in Australia before 1920 or who came from Ireland as nuns. For privacy reasons the data base stops at 1920.
